Late Harvest Lease Bank
Executive SummaryThe Late Harvest Lease Bank straddles the border between Harrison and Marion County lines in East Texas. Sizable lease blocks are currently commanding premium prices. One recent example is the sale in late 2011 by Hilcorp to Marathon of 141,000 acres in the Eagle Ford Trend for $3.5 billion ($25,000/acre). New Century and Seven Angel’s initial lease target is 5,000 acres, followed by a development program of an estimated 45 horizontal wells with potential estimated reserves of 15.5 million BOE.
Target The main objectives are the Rodessa, Pettet, Travis Peak and Cotton Valley formations - all prolific producers in East Texas. Participants will help fund lease acquisition with the option to join in a sale with cash proceeds and no-risk, no-cost carried interests. Deeper Bossier and Norphlet formations have considerable future potential and add value to the long term outlook.
Competitive Advantage The edge is using new technology - horizontal drilling and fracking - to recover bypassed reserves in historical oil fields with no horizontal development. Horizontal drilling and fracking are extremely effective in tight reservoirs. Reserves and flow rates are often 5-10 times that of vertical wells in similar settings.
Opportunity The timing is ideal to acquire a lease position at Late Harvest before prices go up. 5,000 acres can be leased in 6-12 months and a development program can begin shortly after that. Over 600 Acres have already been acquired and are included in this program. All of the targets are shallow and normally pressured and New Century is experienced in drilling and fracking.
Production The cumulative production of the Rodessa, Pettet, Travis Peak and Cotton Valley trends totals 543 million BO and 35 TCF of natural gas. The Late Harvest area is a sweet spot and local fields have yielded over 35 million BO and 1.4 TCF of gas to date (all from vertical drilling except for some Cotton Valley wells). Productive trend patterns indicate a sizable undrilled reserve potential.
Current Status For all the focus on shale development, horizontal development of tight formations offers much better economics. Wells are less costly, declines are flatter, and pay outs are substantially quicker. A deep Norphlet discovery by Valence 15 miles south has flow rates exceeding 2,000 BOPD and has created much interest. BP is buying leases across the entire western half of Harrison County. Mineral owners 4 miles southeast of Late Harvest turned down $1,000/acre for deep rights only and our data shows our acreage is just as strong with potentially more upside.

New Century Exploration, Inc.
Focus Low-risk development of historical, shallow oil fields where new technology can free up previously inaccessible reserves (with a smaller footprint). Many older fields with tight (low permeability) reservoirs were uneconomic and abandoned due to the small drainage areas and flow rates of vertical wells. This happened frequently during times of low oil prices, but these old fields are being rejuvenated with the new technology and high oil prices. Horizontal drilling, fracking and enhanced oil recovery can increase flow rates and recoverable reserves dramatically with a lot less risk.
Opportunity A great opportunity is presented while much of the industry’s attention is on shale plays.
Horizontal drilling in tight formations offers the same low risk and extensibility of shale plays, but at lower cost, faster pay outs and robust cash flows (vs. 90% declines over the first year of most shale wells). Oil is also much easier to target and produce in tight reservoirs, in addition to a greater life expectancy and flatter declines.
Edge The edge is a motivated team using the latest technology along with the traditional skills and experience vital to growth of the company’s oil and gas reserves. The key personnel have a long record of working together on successful
projects. They include licensed geologists, geophysicists, engineers, and land men, empowered by an expert administrative staff handling all permitting, budgeting, marketing, reporting, regulatory, insurance, accounting and tax related issues.
New Century and Seven Angel have successfully acquired thousands of attractive acres over the last year. The companies reach is further extended by long lasting and strong relationships with the best service companies, including Schlumberger, Baker Hughes, BJ Services, Halliburton, Pathfinder, Frac Tech, NuTech Energy, Scandrill, IHS, Ely & Associates, Seismic Micro-Technology, and others.
New Century Exploration, Inc. is a privately-held, licensed and bonded, energy company with operations in Texas and Louisiana. We have joined forces with Seven Angel Group and their innovation has been played a large role in our future acreage expansion. NCE has a long, safe, and successful record of exploring, developing and producing oil and natural gas resources. The company is expert in all aspects of oil and gas production, from prospect to pipeline and we look forward to a profitable future with you.

Economic Potential Economic potential illustrated at 1.5% working interest.
Profit Model A) Share in the proceeds from the sale of the leases 5000 acres for an avg of $2,500 an acre = $12,500,000
$187,000 share in lease profits (1.5% of 12,500,000) B) After placing the leases we will retain interest. Planned negotiation is a “25% carry” so a 1.5% working interest
will equate to .375% carried interest in the field. (1.5% of 25 = .375%)
Potential over 15 million BOE based on 5x recovery from horizontal development
